Chelsea is in the race for Boniface

Looking to bolster their attacking front, Chelsea are eyeing Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface as a potential addition to their squad during the January transfer window. The Nigerian player shone with his own unique brilliance in the Bundesliga, collecting 11 goals and six assists in various competitions and thus piqued the interest of the Blues.

Chelsea is in the race for Boniface

At just 22 years old, Boniface represents a long-term investment for Chelsea, who have struggled offensively, scoring just 22 goals in 13 league games. Despite signing Nicolas Jackson at the start of the season, Chelsea are looking for more scoring options and Boniface could be the answer.

Despite signing from Villarreal, Jackson has not quite lived up to expectations, prompting Chelsea to look for alternatives, including previous interest in Victor Osimhen. Boniface’s ability to share the scoring load with Jackson makes him an attractive candidate for the London club.

The Bundesliga club is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until the summer of 2028 and feels no pressure to sell Bonifatius. They could demand a premium for the Nigerian striker, increasing uncertainty over Chelsea’s prospects of completing the transfer in January.

A move to the Premier League would be an exciting step in Boniface’s career and Chelsea, as one of the biggest clubs in the world, has the financial resources to complete the deal. The situation will continue to evolve in the coming weeks as Chelsea have not yet formalized their interest with a concrete proposal.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen is enjoying an exceptional season in the Bundesliga, leading the table with 11 wins and one draw in 12 league games. Keeping Boniface within their ranks could be key to their title ambitions, although the uncertainty over his future adds an interesting element to the transfer window narrative.
